Teachers Are Everywhere . . . Including in Your Mirror

Teachers Are Everywhere . . . Including in Your Mirror

Author: chenrezigproject August 14, 2025 Duration: 12:12

'TEACHERS' (aka those we learn from) . . . are everywhere, and always have been.

Consider the people you've encountered while traveling along the path(s) of your life -- both in your past and those who are here now.

Try to clear your mind of feelings of attachment and/or aversion and ask yourself, with an openly honest heart: “What has this person and/or situation taught me? How have they influenced me, enabling me to be the best person I am today?"

Be patient with this, allow contemplation . . . perhaps you will experience an expanding clarity through which you see and appreciate your teachers (and yourself) with increasing -- and profoundly empowering -- understanding(s).

(Length: 13 minutes)

The Elegant Mind is presented by Mark Winwood of the Chenrezig Project, with music composed and performed by the renowned SF Bay-area musician Bobby Vega. Please send along comments, questions, etc. to mwinwood@gmail.com.  Thank you.
